Some of the small things that make Ghibli special

The life-sized robot from Laputa (Castle in the Sky) is stunning

Ghibli-themed signs line the streets to the museum

From the outside, it's hard to tell there is a garden on top

The Laputa robot even has plants growing on it like it does in the movie

The Ghibli beer (translated to Valley of the Wind) was quite delicious! And the bottle is worth keeping

Notice

Admission to the Ghibli Museum is by advance reservation only.

Latest on Ghibli Museum

Even though pictures are not allowed inside the Ghibli Museum, the outside and surrounding area still possess a lot of Ghibli charm. Ghibli street signs, a Ghibli bus, and Ghibli beer make for pleasant unexpected surprises while visiting the museum. It's a must-see for those Ghibli fans out there, but don't forget to make your reservation ahead of time!
